HISTORY OF HAWAII FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Hawaii Federal Credit Union was originally chartered in 1937 as Honolulu Construction and Draying Federal Credit Union by eight employees of HC&D. By 1976, the credit union had grown to $2.9 million.

In 1978, things began to change. The Field of Membership was changed to a community charter serving the West Honolulu area and the name was changed to Hawaii Federal Credit Union.

Since that time, we have merged with several credit unions. Today we serve over 13,000 members and anyone that lives, works, or attend school on Oahu is eligible to join.

CREDIT UNION HISTORY

The credit union idea is a simple one: People should be able to pool their money and make loans to each other. It's an idea that evolved from cooperative activities in 19th century Europe.

Since that time, the idea's guiding principles have remained the same:(1) Only people who are credit union members should borrow there; (2) loans are made for 'prudent and productive' purposes; (3) a person's desire to repay (character) is considered more important than the ability (income) to repay. Members are, after all, borrowing their own money and that of their friends. These principles still govern most of the world's credit unions.
